2. Remove ignition main relay from the engine compartment relay box.
3. Inspect relay continuity.





- Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between terminals 3 and 6.
- Check that there is continuity between terminals 4 and 5.
- Check that there is no continuity between terminals 1 and 2.
- If continuity is not as specified replace the relay.
4. Inspect relay operation.





- Apply battery voltage across terminals 3 and 6.
- Using an ohmmeter. check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2.
